Preparedness for when

[Deleted User]

Hiya I'm home again and have just begun to read back over the weeks posts. Love the plane scenario and I'd make the shelter with what was left of the plane, use the chocolate to lure a bear in close enough to where I was hiding so I could use the handgun to harvest it, I'd skin it and process the skin to keep me warm, I'd butcher the beastie and harvest all the fat which would render down for lamp fuel and cooking fat, I'd butcher out the meat and freeze it in the snow to make sure it didn't go off and kept us in food for as long as possible (it would be a big bear so lots of meat) and the freezing process would make it less attractive to other bears bent on cannibalism. I'd make an electric fence from cabling wire and the battery to be certain the food was ours to keep. I'd boil up the carcass in melted snow and keep reducing it until it set to use as instant energy soup which I'd freeze in portions of the size needed to feed the group, I'd harvest the marrow from the marrow bearing bones as that's very high calorie survival food and make tools with what bones could be used. The whisky would be saved for medical emergencies and reviving those who get very cold and I wouldn't ever consider making soup from POLYANNA even if she IS a skinny Minnie 'cos she's my pal!!! Leave you for 8 days and look where you go??? and you lot think I'm crazy???

Good to have you back, Lyn.

jk0, the Daily Flail has a bit about the PM's late Dad; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3522668/David-Cameron-refuses-reveal-family-s-money-held-tax-haven-father-named-huge-leak-Panama-files.html

Not nearly prominently enough for my taste. Camermoron boasted in a speech once that he was a third generation stock-broker, so we know that he doesn't come from good people.

I'm finding the Panama Papers a delightful ornament to the news. Has the Icelandic PM fallen on his sword, yet? The great and the good are being exposed very handily. There is such a thing as forensic accounting, which seems to be a profession overdue for some work on these toerags.

Yup, the tin hat is looking like the chapeau du jour of the rational thinking man and woman.:p

If that bear even tries to take my chocolate then it's TOAST!

Do you have a recipe for toasted bear??? I was banking on you saying that 'cos then it means we have BOTH the bear and the chocolate.....bear mole Mexican style anyone?

You've gotta be careful when toasting bears- their pelt gets caught in the toaster slot and the lovely odour of burning hair sets off the smoke detectors.

I've been away on holiday for a while and this has probably been discussed.... but when/why was the title of this thread amended?

It happened about 3-4 days ago and no one knows why.

Welcome home . I've just got home after a long day .
